The TEETH Kickstarter Is Now Live!
It was all building up to this.
Hello, you.
The book that Marsh and I started working on three years ago, a project which spawned this newsletter and three standalone adventures and an interactive fiction, has now landed on crowd-funding platform Kickstarter. Please back it at whatever level works best for you.
And take a look at this amazing animated pitch video!
TEETH is a setting and ruleset, written by Jim Rossignol and Marsh Davies, and bound into a fat book of 320 pages. Within you will find 180-ish pages describing the places, people and beasts of the Vale of the Deluth—including many maps and illustrations. It's a meaty setting, carefully threaded with intrigues for players to follow, and peppered with prompts for the GM.
The rules rejig and refit the Creative Commons-licensed Forged in the Dark framework to emphasise investigating occult incursions, hunting unspeakable monstrosities across a benighted wilderness, developing revolting mutations, fomenting insurrection and more. There are lots of tables for you to generate weather conditions, names, encounters, artefacts, viscera and, of course, cursed pies.
The whole thing is heavily illustrated in Marsh's striking black-and-white style, partly inspired by etchings and wood-cuts of the period, but mostly just his own, weird thing.
Have a closer look at some sample spreads! Here! Here! Here! And also here!
The book's nine maps and other diagrams are also supplied separately in full colour as high resolution downloadables, along with a pdf version of the book itself, and other digital resources, like editable spreadsheet editions of the Playbooks.
The book is written, designed, finished, and ready to print. We think you’ll like it.
LINKS!
Just one external link this week: Mishaps of the Extra—Planar Interiors of Infinite Storage Boxes. Because even though it’s Kickstater week, how could we not link something with that title?
